Screen Time and Summer Vacation
Event Information
About this event
This is a 30 minute workshop designed to help you connect with your kids and avoid struggles over screen time during summer vacation.
We will cover:
- What's "normal" and healthy for your kids time on video games, YouTube, and other screen based activities
- How to cut down on battles and conflict with your kids (of all ages) when all they want to do is watch or play video games
- How to connect more with your kids and add playfulness and adventure to your summer!
You've got roughly 3 months to do all the things you want to do with your kids while they're on summer break.... and all they want to do is stare at a screen?
Come to this parenting workshop and get practical, actionable techniques and language for you to use. It will help you avoid resentment, cut down on conflict, and have the summer break that you and your kids deserve.
I am a licensed therapist and author of Connect with Courage. I will be providing resources and reassurance for you. My goal is to give you concrete solutions and exercises that will help your whole family right away!
